CARLISLE, Pa. – A brand new show is joining the exciting Carlisle Events lineup for the 2006 season of automotive events at the Carlisle Fairgrounds, home to the largest presenter of collector car, truck and motorcycle events for the entire family.

The Carlisle Performance & Style Show, scheduled for May 5-7 2006, is an event designed to introduce the latest in customization, tuning and in-car entertainment trends to enthusiasts of all ages. See show quality compacts, customized SUVs and modified high-end luxury rides.

The latest trend in the automotive hobby industry is modifying stock luxury sedans (like a Mercedes CL55) or high-end SUVs (maybe a Lincoln Navigator, a Range Rover or a Cadillac Excalade). Even Old School ‘60s rides like Impalas or Buick Regals are likely targets for these new alterations. The customizations can be anything from a pair of oversized custom wheels, tires and trim, to a total interior makeover, which includes ICE (in-car entertainment), maybe upgrading to a superior sound system to adding several TV monitors in the headrests with DVD input. These modified upgrades can range in price from a few hundred dollars for a rim or wheel to a total ride renovation of $50,000 or more.

“Our inaugural show is not just new to Carlisle Events, but is in fact a new market segment taking the automotive-hobbyist marketplace by storm,” John Detrick, Carlisle Events CEO. "Everywhere I look, I’m seeing aftermarket alterations being made to cars.

Over the past 10 years, it was mainly our younger audiences making modification to compacts, but now we’re seeing this same audience…maturing a few years…and their parents tuning high-end luxuries, euros and SUVs. It’s really been an remarkable transition in the hobby."

Cool. Show was much better in carlisle then psu.

3

so fucking lame… they should rename it the wannabe funk master flex show

4

Who cares? All the ricers and faggots will destroy it because they’re idiots and the tuners and customizers will once again be left out in the cold…

It’ll just be history repeating itself.

:rofl:

Wow you guys all bitched its not in carlisle anymore; now you are bitching about the name, how its going to be ruined again and so forth…

You guys crack me up. Did you ever think they changed the name to try and get away from the horrible reputation the CCCN got. Yes not everyone is dumb and nieve to NOT know what this show used to be called, but maybe they are doing it to butter up the town into letting it back in. In doing so they are trying a makeover in general.

7

Yeah only problem is the dipshits that ruined it last time need to stay the fuck home. Or if they grew up the new dipshits that are sure to show up to replace that crowded need to be beat down severly.

whoa whoa whoa… i never once said i wanted it to go to the fairgrounds again. and especially after last year at PSU! I would much rather have the event at PSU! Carlisle is a shit hole, at least PSU had nice hotels and things to do. If we want to stay stereotypical in what crowd is going to come to the show I think this show might be worse. It will be filled with wanna be gangsters instead of ricers. sounds great! bring your gun mike!

You may be one person, but that was the biggest complaint from the attendees, that it “wasn’t in carlisle”. If you have a problem with the hotels in Carlisle stay in Harrisburg. Me and brad made that run probably 4-5 times in one night at the GM nationals two years ago. Its actually not that far of a drive.

Sorry but State College was a joke for the Car Show part. When it takes you 2 hours to go 40 yards AFTER you are already done being judged, thats pathedic.

We have our rooms already (4) and its the same place we stayed at for the GM nationals a couple years ago. The price is only 78 bucks a night and it has everything including its own bar (which me and brad used last time).

The logistics for a show like this is a nightmare when you take it on the road. State College proved that. Plus there is extra money getting dished out to outsorce stuff they can’t provide that they already have on home turf.

Sure they get so many thousands of people for a Penn State game in and out, but they also don’t have the other movement associated with a show.

I don’t think you are going to have as much as a problem as you may think with “gangstas” and so forth. Its still going to be attended by primarily the Sport compact people because they are the followers of th show. I high doubt its all the sudden going to be flooded with problem children. I also think now that it has been a nomad show for the past two years, people are going to be more attentive in making sure it doesn’t get removed again.

Again just my thoughts, but it cracks me up people are critisizing it before it even happens.

10

agreed. I think the PSU setup was great. Then if you figure the weather got shitty, you could still go inside to check everything out. I had a hella good time at the PSU one.

11

You also didn’t have to sit in a car for 2 hours. On grounds. and fighting with assholes trying to get our group parked because they wanted to park up like a football game.

Yes that was a positive having the dome with stuff inside and if you are a spectator only, but if you are a participant its everything else that is a nightmare.

13

Umm isn’t that kind of ironic even as a joke since most of your coverage comes from Shows.

:bash:

14

On a side note, if you want a joke of a show, that would be the OC Car show. Since when is black and decker home sales INSIDE part of an “Elite” show.

Now that is the true deffinition of a let down.

15

I like going to car shows… i just hate the mentality of most “show” car owners.

OC Car show delivers as a show! Definitely my favorite besides NOPI. It is a weekend of cool cars, beach, girls everywhere and tons of drinking. You have show car owner mentality. Instead of getting pissed about the judges and all the other BS if you had just a little more fun it would be a much better experience for you. I am sure be rad will agree the OC show rocks!

16

never made it to this show but know alot of people who have taken cars down…is it worth the trip?

17

We are going down but just to go, not participating. Your logic doesn’t make sense since the only reason there are shows is due to the show participants, not the attendees. With out the owners’ cars what are people paying to see?

B’rad parked his car and left. He would have been better off doing what we are this year or you did last year and just go down for the weekend without being involved with the show. Save 50 bucks and go to the bar or do somthing esle with the money.

Its not just owners of show cars that have this mentality either. I remember certian racers bitching about flying gravel at PRP. Again people participating in an event wanting things to be upto a certian quality when participating.

EVERY owner of a vehicle that is PARTICIPATING in an event expects a certian level of standards.

Asking for room to put up a tent due to no shade and 90 degree temperatures and being able to park with your group shouldn’t be too much to ask for. Especially when they advertise it and confirm it in an email. Yet you get down there sit on the main drag for 2 hours then you have to fight with them is not a good thing.

which show Carlisle or OC?

I have always enjoyed the Carlisle events. Been going to the Compact one since 2003, Have also been to the GM nationals, Ford Nationals, Truck Nationals, and this year I will be out at Bike Fest. When they are at the fairgound stuff seems to operate more efficantly, compared to abroad.

19

bitching about judged events is just pointless. I enjoy the events, i enjoy the cars, but i do not enjoy most of the show car owners. And at carlisle I thought the events were definitely better then the car show. I loved hearing Skribble live, watching the bikini contest, the burnout contest, the stunters and also the dyno. That made the show at PSU better not the majority of lame ass cars.
